Hello,
I have a project where the program expects the configuration files to be
stored in '/etc/lx2005'. Appropriately, I've got such a Makefile.am:
# Makefile.am for installing configuration data
etcdir=/etc/lx2005
etc_DATA = serlog.conf
CLEANFILES = serlog.conf
EXTRA_DIST =
# Makefile.am for installing configuration data
etcdir=/etc/lx2005
etc_DATA = serlog.conf
This is seriously broken. What if my /etc directory is read-only, for example.
This breaks any hope of getting a VPATH build.
When I run 'make distcheck' it fails as it cannot install the files

I often struggle with

Informative. Though I still maintain that it's a Bad Thing. Heh.

BTW: If you use
etcdir=${sysconfdir}
you can set
DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS = --sysconfdir=/etc
And if you want to make this the default, set it in your configure
Sounds like my best solution would be to use the sysconf_DATA option.
Any ideas how to take 'sysconfdir' and somehow import it into my program
so it knows where the default configuration files are?
Well, I use Python and I have a file called 'lib/foo/__init__.py.in'
that is has the following
